Routes / Crossing from Colorado into Utah

« on: January 03, 2004, 10:25:02 pm »

Hello I am planning to cycle from Winnipeg to Arches National Park and am wondering if anyone has crossed from Col. into Utah and could possibly recommend routes or share experiences? Possibly at Pueblo? I beleive that is part of the Western Express Route.

Routes / Saskatoon to Thunderbay

« on: January 03, 2004, 10:19:23 pm »

Pretty much from Winnipeg to Thunder Bay there are two options:
1)Take the transcanada highway via Kenora and Dryden
2) Take highway 11 via Fort frances

I have not cycled either and have only driven the transcan, but have seen many people cycling that route.

If my memory serves me correctly the transcan has parts with paved shoulders and stretches without. The area west of Dryden is also touted as having an extremely high accident ratio for cars, how that translates to cycling safety I don't know.
I wish I could be of more help.

General Discussion / Summer Plans

« on: May 24, 2004, 03:51:02 am »

Now that classes are done for the summer...
In exactly one week I am departing from Winnipeg Manitoba (where I live) and cycling to Duluth Minnesota. I have given myself a week, and if I reach Duluth in less than five days I will venture south to the twin cities (Minneapolis/St. Paul).
This is my first tour longer than two days, so I am a little nervous, but very, very excited.
